Abstract

ABSTRACT Two specimens of the mimic octopus Thaumoctopus mimicus were documented for the first time in the Arabian Sea during September 2018 off southern Kerala, India, from 15 m depth. The specimens had dorsal mantle lengths (DML) of 44 and 48 mm. Description and morphological measurements of the specimens are provided. The identity of the specimens was genetically supported by using cytochrome C oxidase I gene sequencing. This finding represents the first record of the species in the Arabian Sea, which signifies an extension of its known geographic distribution range.

阿拉伯海拟章鱼（头足目：章鱼科）的首次记录：范围扩展和基因分型

摘要2018年9月，在印度喀拉拉邦南部15米深处的阿拉伯海，首次记录到两个模拟章鱼Thaumotopus mimicus的标本。标本的背鞘长度（DML）分别为44和48毫米。提供了标本的描述和形态测量。通过细胞色素C氧化酶I基因测序，对标本的身份进行了基因支持。这一发现代表了该物种在阿拉伯海的首次记录，这意味着其已知地理分布范围的扩大。
